This blog as might be apparent from the title has to do with running, biking and basically other outdoor individualistic sports, sometimes extreme, such as rock climbing . But don't be surprised if you find articles on work, personal life, music and even philosophy, this blog is an exception in this aspect in the blogosphere of running blogs and I am trying to revamp the blog to make it more runner friendly. You might want to look at the sidebar titled 'categorised', which as is obvious, categorizes my posts into different areas of interest. The other thing that might interest many people is a section on 'running videos' and 'general videos' on the side bar, which I keep updating now and then. I plan to bring in more posts on running and biking, with some added colour, so as to make them 'complete'. That's about it for now. As a post-note, I have run a half-marathon, but I am yet to attempt a marathon, which through some concerted effort and time should happen in the future, but that ofcourse is not the culmination of this blog, it would on the contrary be something to jumpstart this blog onto new vistas.
Mount Si (pronounced sigh) is an extremely beautiful mountain located at North Bend, around 15 miles from Seattle. This short poem was inspired by its beauty:
Oh Mount Si Your beauty makes me cry The breath taking views you offer Will not make me defer My pending trip until next summer Coming soon, yes I am, to take back wonderful memories over and over
Last weekend, I made a trip to the Little Si, the younger sister of Mount Si. The views from Little Si are breathtaking too. The howling wind at the top made it a little difficult, but what the heck it was amazing all the same. Posted a short video below (not great quality):
